[AASM Case Comp] KeyBank 10th Annual Minority MBA Student Case Competition

[Portley, Calvin]

Hey Everyone,

This was a forward sent to Susan Judkins on our behalf. Please review below and act accordingly if you are interested.

Dear Ms. Judkins,

As last year's winners we sincerely hope UCLA sends another representative team to the upcoming case competition.

Please spread the word ...  KeyBank and The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business will host its 10th Annual Minority MBA Student Case Competition on February 28th-March 2nd, 2014 in Cleveland, OH.

KeyBank Foundation will supervise the selection of a contemporary and never-before-used case topic addressing business issues with varied implications at either a national or international level. Teams of three presenters are being invited from universities and colleges across the country to compete.  Please note that, due to funding limitations, no alternate member of the team is being invited to participate or sponsored by the program this year.  Each team will benefit from the opportunity to develop important professional skills such as analyzing and responding quickly to often-complex business issues.  Also, teams will have a chance to hone their communication and team-building talents while learning from the expertise of business executive judges and moderators:  http://fisher.osu.edu/keybank


Awards:               

1st through 4th place winners receive trophies and team awards ranging from $1,000 to $7,000.  Each team will receive individual participation certificates and a team photo plaque. Members of each team will receive a participation allowance ranging from $200 to $400.

Registration:      

Each Team must be composed of three presenting members. Presenting teams selected for participation in this minority MBA student case competition must represent ethnic diversity.  At least one presenting team member must represent ethnic diversity (i.e., identify as being African American, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino American, or Native American/American Indian).  To be eligible, teams must submit a completed registration (a completed registration includes the Registration Form<http://fisher.osu.edu/offices/diversity-student-services/events/keybank-case-competition/register/>, resumes, and $100 nonrefundable registration fee).

The 16-20 teams selected to participate will each receive two complimentary hotel rooms for two nights of accommodations at the Cleveland Marriott Downtown at Key Center.  Meals are included in your registration.  If a team is selected to participate, its registration fee is nonrefundable, should it withdraw or be unable to participate for any reason.
